Mary Lycan charted this pattern from the Nov 12, 1879, weekly edition of the New York Tribune. The chart is published in May/June 2013 Piecework Magazine.

My review of this piece. The chart is easy to read and the knitting is easy to do.The shell is made of garter stitch, so the front and the back are the same. Once, you get into working on it couple of times, you just refer to the chart briefly and knit. A good pattern makes you keep doing it. This is the one.
